Trumps demagogic illogic strikes again

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On the first stop of his “thank you” tour in Ohio on Thursday, President-elect Donald Trump hit replay on several of his campaign tropes.

Among the crowd pleasers, he heckled the “crooked media,” prompting boos from the audience, and reiterated his pledge to criminalize flag burning.

And he’s not even president yet. More than a month and a half away from Inauguration Day, Trump’s only discipline seems to be making good on bad faith. His attacks both on the media and on those who, rather rarely, burn an American flag, are fundamentally assaults on the Constitution and the First Amendment.

Do Trump followers really not care about these founding documents and their bearing on all the freedoms we take for granted? Or, could they really not know any better?

Most disturbing is the absence of objections from the right. Where are the Republicans when the leader of their party speaks so dismissively toward our principles of freedom and the journalists, many of whom they know personally, who practice in good faith the spirit of the law? How long before Trump’s words persuade some off-balanced Second Amendment “patriot” to take out a “crooked” media person, fully expecting to be applauded by the president-elect?

1. Do they not realize that he will eventually attack them?

It's what he does.

3. By now, most of us understand he is a classic narcissist.

And the one thing he craves is attention. Good or bad, matters not.
If it's good, he swallows it for a brief period of feeling powerful.
If it's bad attention, he strikes out, again to feel powerful.

The only thing he cannot stand is being ignored.


And because he lies at the drop of a hat, taking ANYthing he has to say seriously is a mistake.
Watch what he does, not what he says.

I see so many posts of outrage about some comment he made. Doesn't matter, he will change his words in the next breath.

what he DID-- Taiwan, for example--is much more important.
